the velocity of the jet will add to the velocity of the particles , so they will be have greater velocity right?

Besides, how could you fit a particle accelerator on a jet? And, have you calculated what % increase in velocity doing all this would net you? The particles are going very fast. Jet speed is virtually nothing compared to them. Might as well put a gun on a snail to increase the bullet's velocity.

Velocities don't add linearly at high speed like they do at low speed. So even if you could put a particle accelerator on a plane, it wouldn't accomplish anything.Andrax said:the velocity of the jet will add to the velocity of the particles , so they will be have greater velocity right?

Putting a particle accelerator in a jet would be extremely difficult and impractical. Particle accelerators are large and complex machines that require a lot of energy and precise control. A jet would not have the necessary space or stability to accommodate such a device.
No, a particle accelerator in a jet would not make it more powerful. Particle accelerators are used to accelerate subatomic particles to high speeds, but this does not translate to increased power for a jet. In fact, the added weight and complexity of a particle accelerator would likely decrease the jet's performance.
No, a particle accelerator in a jet would not be a practical or effective weapon. Particle accelerators are used for scientific research and have no practical use as a weapon. Additionally, the technology and infrastructure required to operate a particle accelerator would make it impossible to use in a jet for military purposes.
Yes, a particle accelerator in a jet would be extremely dangerous for passengers. Particle accelerators produce high levels of radiation and require strict safety protocols to operate. Placing one in a jet would expose passengers to dangerous levels of radiation and could have serious health consequences.
No, a particle accelerator in a jet would not be suitable for space travel. Spacecraft require a specific type of propulsion system that allows them to travel in the vacuum of space. Particle accelerators are not designed for this purpose and would not be able to provide the necessary thrust for space travel.
